The National Assembly and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have been urged by the anti-corruption organization Network Against Corruption and Trafficking Initiative (NACAT) to look into allegations of abuse of office and due process against Mustapha Ahmed, the former director general of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
The organization claimed that Ahmed had given contracts worth billions of naira to his friends, family, and cronies while abusing the legal system.
The organization stated that they are prepared to defend their claims and that they have already petitioned the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions, which is chaired by Honorable Mike Etaba, to hold a public hearing and look into The issues mentioned.
During a press briefing in Abuja yesterday, Tega Oghenedoro, the executive director of NACAT’s investigation division, addressed the media and stated, “Our mission today is to draw the attention of the public to our recent efforts to curb corruption in our beloved country, Nigeria.”
“We have intercepted several financial infractions committed by persons in public office. These infractions include; money laundering, massive corruption, gross abuse of public office, owning and running private companies while in office and false assets declarations contrary to provision of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Our investigations are contained in various petitions already before the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions.
“The catalogue of those found wanting in the various infractions include the former director general, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mustapha Habib Ahmed.
“We recall that Walter Samuel Onnoghen was removed as the chief justice of Nigeria in April 2019 following a petition to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) by an NGO for not disclosing his assets in line with the provisions of the law. It is on this note that we as a civil society organisation wrote to the NASS Committee.”
The organization added that it has petitioned the same committee to look into the ownership and management of private firms while in government, as well as fake asset declarations, by the office of the Solicitor General of Nigeria, a director at the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
